Multiple Configuration Files - Siemens SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180 Function Manual

Multiple Configuration Files

The control allows for the use of up to eight separate configuration files. This is to allow for use
of the drive with up to eight separate, non-identical motors. These files contain most of the
parameters of the drive, all motor parameters and most loop tuning parameters are contained
in these files.
To use multiple configuration files, enable parameter Multiple config files (9185) in the SOP &
Serial Functions Menu. The default is off. The associated submenu is Setup SOP config flags
(9186) where slave files can be created and assigned to the SOP variables via the menu items.
Refer to Section Options for Multiple Configuration Files in Chapter Parameter Assignment/
Addressing for information on creating and programming the slave files.
Once the files are created and enabled, they are selected via the eight SOP flags
SOPConfigFile1_O to SOPConfigFile8_O in the logic of the SOP file. Ensure that only one
valid flag is set true at a time within the SOP.
Potential Drive Instability or Trip
Switching SOP flags could cause drive instability and/or a trip.
Do not switch SOP flags while the drive is running.
Since the configuration files can also be changed via the menu, there is a potential conflict that
could arise between whether the menu or the SOP selected file is to be used. If the menu is used
to override the SOP selection, then the menu selection becomes the active configuration. This
will remain in effect until the SOP changes the configuration file to be different from the menu
selection.
